3.change the indirect object noun

Sara: Good
Shahinaz: That's a good idea, but in this sentence, "Santa Claus" describes the parade, so it is an adjective.
Pat et Marie: Good, but keep the change to "kids".
Andra: Good.
NEXT STUDENT: Please continue from
"My kids watched the Santa Claus sleigh at the school". The next change should be #4.
